Asia’s
benchmark stock index held at a two-month low after
better-than-forecast U.S. employment data bolstered the case for the
Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this year.
The
MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped less than 0.1 percent to 147.83 as of
9:03 a.m. in Tokyo. The measure slid 2.3 percent last week, closing
Friday at the lowest since April 3. Bets in interest-rate futures showed
the odds the Fed will boost borrowing costs in September rose to 33
percent on Friday after the best U.S. jobs report in five months, from
27 percent before the data.
A
gauge of global bonds erased its 2015 gains last week as signs of price
growth in the euro area reignited a fixed-income selloff. Yields on
10-year Treasuries rose on Friday to the highest since October.
Japan’s
Topix index added 0.3 percent. New Zealand’s NZX 50 Index was little
changed. South Korea’s Kospi index fell 0.2 percent. Markets in
Australia are closed for a holiday, while those in China and Hong Kong
have yet to open.
The
Shanghai Composite Index climbed 1.5 percent on Friday, capping a 8.9
percent advance last week, the most since December. Price swings are
widening, with the Shanghai index’s 100-day volatility measure at the
highest level in more than five years.
